20 000$ Trail Damage

This is why you don't go off-roading un-prepared.

Sometimes in the snow country one can be entirely prepared, but @#$% happens. Even professional drivers can't avoid it.

What does a road accident have to do with driving through the woods and plowing through trees?

I'll never complain about Texas heat again!

Trail damage happens sometimes. It hurts, but you get over it.

the following all happened on the same trail . Not quite the dollar amount as yours, but I needed a new bed side.

The later are the required winter driver training techniques to be a truck driver on Wyoming I-80. Highest percentage of fatal vehicle accidents per capita in the USA.

You need professional help.... I sure hope your insurer told you to pack sand.... It’s true, you can’t fix stupid!

 

[olyelr]

Was this even covered by insurance?!

I dont have a pw but a 2500. I do not repair trail damage lol. The Interior is in great condition. She’s mechanically sound and well taken care of. The rest is just going to get beat up if you use em. And yeahhhhh if I had a brand new pw I’d work it just as hard as my 2500. I think that’s why my wife won’t let me!

Love the dog pile of people who are upset somebody else took their truck through a tough trail and did some body damage. Get off your couch and live. Not everyone needs wax that that doesn’t water spot.

Glad you made it Ok. Hope you have good insurance. Most of that will just buff out!

Can you believe I forgot my chainsaw!
And the axe was dull from previous bonfire.

Yep, all covered.
And everything went smoothly, which surprised me a bit.

New vehicles use skins rather than real sheet metal. I've been out in my AMC Eagle and had branches bounce right off the body yet the Chev and Ram in front and behind were damaged from it.

Mine buffed out.

That damage sucks though.

I wonder if the bed liner that doesn't crack and can make a water melon bounce when it's coated would help.

I used to do that kind of trail almost regularly with a Jeep JK.
Barely any damage overtime.
The sheet metal on those is definitely thicker then normal.

That bedliner would work for sure.
I have a friend who had a F150 fully coated. Truck had a foot hole in the back but nothing showed and still solid. Great stuff!

I figured it would be covered. Back in my 4 wheeling days there were several times where guys went off-roading and destroyed their trucks and it was all covered. From damaging every body panel, sinking it in a lake or swamp or ripping off bumpers and diffs. If you were ok with your rates going up they let Us put them thru insurance.

I am just an old cowboy living here in Texas and you got to have a screw loose to drive in there like that that's all I can say partner

Haha, yep ....that sums it right up
